Rethink Child Benefit changes in 2012

Additional Information

In 2012 the government propose to remove child benefit to higher rate tax payers. It has been called 'a fair tax'.

However, if a couple both earn just under the threshold (total income = ~£75K), they keep the benefit, while a family with a sole provider earning just over the limit (total income = ~£40) loses it. This is simply not a fair tax.

I propose that means tested benefits are used instead, it is the only 'fair' way.
